Here you go, Joan. I couldn't have said it better, the very reason you need to get rid of the anonymous option
"As long as Salon makes the anonymous option available, and as long as Salon promotes a very one sided, very biased, anti-science forum and as long as Joan Walsh refuses to discuss that, then I will use anonymous.
And if you don't like that, just whine to Kerry and call me a dirty fucking hippie." -- Anonymous

Let's try again, Garry
Did you write Kerry lauerman and have my earlier post removed?
I accept "responsibilty" for "shooting [my] arrow straight up."
But did you send the email that had the post removed?

Silencing "Opus," again
Joan Walsh's concern over other news org's not publishing this fairly innocuous cartoon is well founded. The Muslims have the media walking on eggshells, and the rest of society cowed, with their aggressive hypersensitivities and violent solutions to 'insult.' Would a cartoon somehow lampooning Judeochristian practices be treated with such concern?

Coalition of the WIlling fails to Secure Iraq borders after four years+ of President George Bush's 'Mission Accomplished' (Oberman hook)
The United States is relying on the ‘Coalition of the Willing’ to stabilize the borders of Iraq
Which are, according to U.S. sources, a weakness, in the ‘Coalition Campaign for Freedom’ for all Iraq’s citizens under Military Rule of U.S. troops.
Iranians also have fired mortar rounds across the border, more than 1,000 of which have struck the Peshdar region in the past two weeks
I was watering my orchard when the bombardment started on a hill nearby," he said. "My uncle's wife was hurt by shrapnel." Haj Ali Rishinin, a resident of Wola Simt, east of Sulaimaniyah , said he'd watched orchards burn after the attacks.
For the past two weeks, Iran has been shelling Kurdish farming villages on the Iraqi side of the border to root out rebels who belong to the Kurdistan Free Life Party , which Tehran accuses of conducting terrorist attacks in Iran . It's a branch of the Kurdistan Workers Party , which the United States has branded a terrorist organization.
Last week, Iranian troops raided at least 10 villages on the Iraqi side of the border in search of rebels, possibly in retaliation for the recent assassination of an Iranian intelligence official by Kurdish guerrillas. Since then at least 20 villages have been evacuated in the face of Iranian bombardment
Turkey also has launched raids into northern Iraq to hunt for rebels.

Well, is this a Story?

I said "no"
What part of no don't you understand?
Why, what were you going to do, retaliate? Track me down? Come to my house? Threaten me?
Lunatic! Get lost.

And another thing, Anonymous asshole...
Which anonymous am I responding to?
That is what is so goddamned fucking stupid about this anonymous crap on Salon! Nobody is ever really sure which anonymous is THE anonymous.
I'll tell you what, let's all pick a day, let's say Wednesday, September 5th, everybody on Salon posts as "Anonymous." We'll call it "Anonymous" day and everybody can fuck with everybody else and have a grand old time.
Jesus Christ, will this ever stop?

They make ‘’All of the Rules’’, you must be a vegetarian, you seem to have lost too many brain-cells to function as a sentient being, eat some meat,
""I'd like to add one last thing: tribal customs that restrict women also require men to pay a terrible price. Tribal men are expected to kill or be killed to defend the social and economic standing of the tribe.
Why don't any progressives ever care about them?

Hey Brickbat, don't you worry about us vegetarians and vegans.
It's meat-eaters' brains which you should worry about. All that cholesterol-laden dead flesh clogs up your blood vessels and cuts off the blood/oxygen supply to your brains, your hearts, and your peters. Which organ do you want to malfunction first?
Now excuse me while I go enjoy a soy cheese and soy pepperoni pizza with the missus.

Okay, okay, order in the nuthouse...
Let's get a few things straight, and then we can take a look-see how much we really disagree on.
1) The cartoon is rather lame
2) The cartoon's biggest joke is that Muslim women don't wear a bikini or any kind of (what we'd consider) normal bathing suit. It's a burqini, get it? No, no... Get It?
3) Oh yeah, the toon was also working in a ham-handed skewering of the Du[m]bya mentality.
In fact, it is this last character who gets skewered the most. By about a mile. Therefore, the only thing one could possibly get offended about is the very mixing of [true fact about observant hardcore muslims] and [mirth] - even when said mirth actually shows Muslim virtue to advantage over dumb yahoo-ism. Sorry, but you don't get to be that touchy in this society. Whether you make big tantrums about it or ignore it completely (like the Amish), if we find your ways amusing we're gonna express that.
All in all, nothing at all to be offended about, and not a terribly interesting comment on any of the issues involved.
Yea, verily, should he who Breathes of Berkeley make pilgrimage to the Apple of Great Size, and placate the great master Trudeau with cardigan sweaters, home-made pies and all that is good, and learn from him the sacred art of the deadpan.

The court took my kids away because the judge reads Broadsheet
and she's one of them libruls and she don't know nuthin' 'bout Big Science like I do. And I post anonymous because if anybody ever saw my screen name, they'd know who I am because I wear a tin foil hat and stand on a street corner in China Town with a sign around my neck warning everbody the end times are a-comin' and there's nuthin' crazy about me! No sir! And then alls of a sudden I'm standin' ther ravin' my head off and up walks a San Francisco cop an he hauls me off for exposin' the TRUTH about Broadsheet and how it's a-spredden that thar librul feminazi propaganda with a catapult and I know that's true because I was just a-standin' thar and that ol' catapult load of feminazi garbage dang nar hit me upside my head. So now the judge is mad at me and she's gettin' all them Broadsheet biddies together and they gonna ruin my life and I ain't a-never gonna git ta see my kids and all that and so alls I do is write to Joan Walsh demanding that she engage me in a debate about Big Science and the tin foil hat theory.
